Kennedy Missed His Calling

His outstanding performance on the floor of the Senate was simply extraordinanry, and I watched in amazement and with a nagging sense of familiarity. It was about the third time his voice cracked on a high-pitched screech that I realized that Kennedy had truly missed his calling…

Ted Kennedy was meant to be a televangelist. He was full of hellfire and brimstone!! His arms were flailing, his voice was cracking, and the spittle was flying - all this while hollering at the top of his lungs and pounding on the podium. What a sight!

“If Judge Alito is confirmed to the Supreme Court, the world as we know it will end! Our founding fathers wrote slavery into the Constitution* and Alito will bring it back!! Women will no longer be able to get jobs! Their rights to privacy will be stripped away!! The disabled will be thrown out on the streets and no longer considered part of the American family! Discrimination will soar, racism will tear the country apart! The Supreme Court will not stand for the working man or woman!! Children won’t be included in schools - Alito will throw them out!! Everything we know as the March of Progress will be destroyed by Judge Alito!

YEAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!

[Oops, soory - that was Howard Dean. I just got caught up in all the screaming and podium pounding.]

If you don’t believe me when I paraphrase Kennedy’s histrionics, go check out the transcript here. *Chad points out the fact that the Founding Fathers did NOT “write slavery into the Constitution”, as per Kennedy’s rant. Could Kennedy get more extreme? He was just pulling stuff outta his butt and saying it out loud.

Aw, really…this is when ya just gotta love the Democrats for stuff like this. It’s truly a gift - a gift of side-splitting laughter.

Hug a Democrat today!!! And don’t forget to say “Thanks, guys.”
